Employment Rights BillContribution
Our amendment clearly establishes that, beyond a minimum offer, there will be flexibility for schools to offer more favourable terms for their support staff in response to local circumstances, and that individual employee contracts will need to change only if their terms or conditions are below the statutory minimum agreements arising from the SSSNB. This allows employers to retain contracts for their employees that contain more favourable pay and conditions that were agreed prior to the SSSNB regulations, or to agree more favourable pay and conditions through subsequent local negotiations.
